Adding a Delivery

There are many different ways to add a new shipment to Deliveries. Here are some of them.

Type or paste a tracking number

Enter a tracking number or order number on the “Add Delivery” screen. Our best guesses will appear below—just choose the best match. If you’re not sure, try the first one. If you don’t see the service you want, type a space and then a few letters of the shipping company’s name (like “1234567 fed”). You can also choose “More options…” to browse the list.

Paste a link to a tracking page

If you have a link to a tracking page, paste it into the next field on the “Add Delivery” screen. In most cases Deliveries can find your tracking information in the URL.

Scan a barcode

In Deliveries for iPhone or iPad, tap the barcode button the bottom of the “Add Delivery” screen, then point the camera at a barcode with a tracking number. If your package has multiple barcodes, look for one with a tracking number below it.

Use “Add to Deliveries” in Safari

In Safari for iOS or Mac, visit a web page with tracking information, and tap or click the Share button. The first time you use this, you’ll need to choose “More…” to enable the extension. Then choose “Add to Deliveries”, and it will look for tracking numbers on the current web page. This option requires Deliveries 6.0 or later for iOS, or Deliveries for Mac. Learn more here.

The first time you use this, you’ll need to choose “More…” to enable the extension. Then choose “Add to Deliveries”, and it will look for a tracking number within the block of text you selected.
